I'm leaving

I'm not an idiot. I know when my presence is detrimental to other people's recovery. I'll be fine.

I'm leaving and this is my final message.

Surely we can't all be wrong in our view that it's not detrimental

But the decision is yours!! . . . best wishes!!

Why is your presence detrimental Benedict?

Benedict

It's completely up to you, but I just wanted to say that I read over many of your posts and you remind me of me. By all means, have a look at some of my posts from a couple of years back......

Unfortunately, whilst you are hammered it is harder for your brain to see the reasonableness that is coming from folks at SR in their posts to you. I know, having been there in the past.

So, if I were you and if you were asking me, my plan would be to finish up drinking tonight and come back to SR tomorrow, with a lovely hot cup of tea as your sidekick.

Don't go. You're not making me feel like a drink. If anything it's having the opposite effect. You are seem unhappy and I don't want to feel that way. Just try tomorrow and come back, xxxx

Benedict I was wondering what you were referring to about your presence being detrimental so I read through your last few posts on other threads. Your presence is not detrimental at all, quite a number of SR members have said the same.

All of us have been in the position where we've been drinking and misunderstood what other people were saying so there is nothing to be embarrassed about because we've all been in the same position.

The best thing you can do is drink some water, have a sleep and then come back and join us again.

It's really sweet that you would be concerned benedict but you are the priority here as someone who is struggling with sobriety. Others who find it difficult to read have the option not to read it You will also find that reading your struggles actually helps some of us stay sober. So stick around! x

Benedict, I know how you feel. Sometimes I think the world is collapsing around me and it's my fault. This is the one place where you won't be judged. Tell us how you feel?

HEY Benedict, no you are not going anywhere. I am a chronic relapser and it would be selfish of you to leave me relapsing alone. Throwing the ******** flag down NOW. Now get back on here and help me and others. Drunk or not, this A needs to hear from you. Don't let me down!!!

I hate the miscommunication that typing or texting can have.
For me it is always better face to face.
Don't go, this is a great place for support and encouragement. It's going to be OK.

Benedict... I'm really hoping you come back tomorrow after you sober up. Don't worry about anything you wrote in this thread or earlier ones today. You most likely won't even remember much if it. Your original plan earlier today was for tomorrow to be day 1, stick to that. It will make a lot more sense tomorrow.
